McEntire Produce

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company offers great opportunities for those willing to apply themselves to obtain it. Some flexibility with policy and regulations to keep them in check. Competitive with much larger companies and outpacing them in a lot of important area. Maintaining a visiale present in the market.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The hours of production operations and the atmosphere in which is must be done.
Keeping viable and sustainable staffing.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture is showing some signs of improvement with still a ways to go. 
The actual working environment leaves a lot to be desired. The production floor area is cold.


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Uncertain as to what the content of the day will bring on a daily basis. Very fluid and dynamic.

The work environment is wet and cold. You have to be an individual that can be aggressive at times just to be able to get your job done and get product on the line to  get processed so you can keep line moving without getting any down time. My supervisor was a great supervisor only the night shift manager was straight up, (you get it.)I didn't lose my job due to neglect, other than the maximum allowed number of points that I was allowed got maxed out. So ultimately,  I lost my job due to point system. Other than the point system I wouldn't have lost my job.

There is nothing enjoyable about that job ever and has never been while I had worked there for a year and 9 months.It was fine working there for the first 5 months,but things started to get worse,My migraines rose exceptionally while working,rushing myself to quickly put boxes on a pallet,and the entire concept of waiting around(mostly for an hour) in a 30 degree cold factory for 9 to 10 hours.Mostly the workers who are not supervisors or assistants or the manager don't really like how the company treated us "grunts" during our shifts.If all of us found a better job than McEntire,McEntire would be closed down for good,

Set up for failure by maintenance manager. Excessive work loads to certain shifts and certain individuals due to favoritism. Favoritism to a specific race. Micromanagement style, told to do task that most likely will not work and when they fail say they had no part in it. Co workers are ok, pay is ok, work/life balance is ok. Never take most feasible approach, rather order failed parts over and over instead of replacing entire component..which will lower your work load, reduce downtime and save money. Maintenance program takes backwards approach.

Great work environment. Management is superb. Always trying to make a better work environment. Management interact with employees very hands on. They offer programs to help if needed one of the best jobs I've ever had. Thinking about going back. Always motivating there employees to learn more than one job. Motivate you to cross train to be the best you can be. Safety is number 1 and the well-being of there employees. Teach you to take accountability and to be thoughtful of all employees and too be professional at all times.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It's chaotic and under managed.
They fire who they want when they want. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is no support for employees.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They expect a functional and safe environment.. but reality they don't care how you get the job done. Every man for themselves 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You are hired for a job. But can't get proper training. Managers own you. You will never complete training untill the manager has to do work then its up to you. Perform or get loss. Is the company way

Easy going, steady day. Some days might be tough but most of all it is steady. Everyday there is something new to learn from working with new product, different station area, different job descriptions to learning new things about how the machine operates. The co-workers were polite especially when you get lost about your work, they will help you get back to where you need to be. The hardest part of the job was working in the freezing cold over your shift hours. And the most enjoyable part of the job was moving around on the assembly line doing different jobs.

The worst thing at McEntire is the smell of ammonia. I was fine working 10 hour shifts in 33 degrees but once I got home, I started coughing uncontrollably, had a hard time breathing right and found myself starring at the ceiling til 2 a.m because of these problems. At one point my eyes got so irritated on the production floor that my vision was blurred for half my shift. I barely made it home safely and had to spend the rest of the night with a cold wash cloth over my eyes. Advancement at McEntire is based on who you know.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Fun people, getting paid every week, and the work is fair for the pay.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The 32 degree indoor climate is difficult to deal with.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They stress on safety, witch is a good thing.  Basically get your jon done in a timely manner and be safe.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Unload at least 4 trucks a day, scan products to the proper locations, rotate stock, house cleaning, be positive and have a great day with your fellow coworkers.

I have been working there for 2 weeks now and I like my manager he is very kind and respectful he offers a lot of motivation and chances for improvement however there is only one break a shift there is some people there that will give you a hard time the temperatures are extremely cold and you are expected to stay in your work areah the entire duration of your stay no matter how cold or wet you get but other than that I hear there's a lot of room for movement also they have really good benefits package and offer 401k so it definitely has it's good and bad things about it
